a pressure of at least six (6) inches (152 mm) of mercury, measured with a manometer or slope
gauge, For tests requiring a pressure of 3 psig, diaphragm gauges shall utilize a dial with a
minimum diameter of three and one half inches (3 '12"), a set hand, 1/10 pound incrementation
and pressure range not to exceed 6 psi for tests requiring a pressure of 3 psig. For tests requiring
a pressure of 10 psig, diaphragm gauges shall utilize a dial with a minimum diameter of three and
one-half inches(31/2"), a set hand, a minimum of 2/10 pound incrementation and a pressure range
not to exceed 20 psi. For welded piping, and for piping carrying gas at pressures in excess of
fourteen (14) inches water column pressure(3.48 kPa) (1/2 psi) and less than 200 inches of water
column pressure(52.2 kPa) (7.5 psi), the test pressure shall not be less than ten (10) pounds per

column (52.2 kPa) (7.5 psi), the test pressure shall be not less than one and one-half times the
proposed maximum working pressure.
Diaphragm gauges used for testing must display a current calibration and be in good working
condition. The appropriate test must be applied to the diaphragm gauge used for testing.
(Reason: To provide for lesser pressures to coordinate with the use of more accurate diaphragm
gauges.)

P3112.2 Installation. Traps for island sinks and similar equipment shall be roughed in above the
floor and may be vented by extending the vent as high as possible, but not less than the
drainboard height and then returning it downward and connecting it to the horizontal sink drain
immediately downstream from the vertical fixture drain. The return vent shall be connected to the
horizontal drain through a wye-branch fitting and shall, in addition, be provided with a foot vent
taken off the vertical fixture vent by means of a wye-branch immediately below the floor and
extending to the nearest partition and then through the roof to the open air or may be connected
to other vents at a point not less than six (6) inches (152 mm) above the flood level rim of the
fixtures served. Drainage fittings shall be used on all parts of the vent below the floor level and a
minimum slope of one-quarter (114) inch per foot (20.9 mmlm) back to the drain shall be
maintained. The return bend used under the drain-board shall be a one (1) piece fitting or an
assembly of a forty-five (45) degree (0.79 radius), a ninety (90) degree (1.6 radius) and a forty-
five (45) degree (0.79 radius) elbow in the order named. Pipe sizing shall be as elsewhere
required in this Code. The island sink drain, upstream of the return vent, shall serve no other
fixtures. An accessible cleanout shall be installed in the vertical portion of the foot vent.
(Reason: To clarify the installation of island venting and to provide a regional guideline on a
standard installation method for this region.)
